"Media Whore" is under attack in ATA. Quick lets find an alternative that we can all agree with.
p.s. this PC crap is really starting to bug me. I feel bad everytime I listen to, "The B**ch is back" by Elton John now. I'll no longer be able to be a Simpsons Whore I guess.

I had to use spell check to get it right!
BTW, pusillanimous means "cowardly", which I think fits the media types very well.

yet another sexism war that's totally meaningless. Somebody complains about "media whore" and yet last night somebody referred to Randi Rhodes as an "on the rag bitch" and got only two objectors.
There is real sexism and there is faux-sexism. Unfortunately the real stuff is ignored in favor of silly crap like this.

I just nominated it for the front page. The first one I ever did not-by-accident.

I don't think anyone is using that phrase in the sense of "I don't like these Media (women who are sexual promiscuous)", but rather are using it in the traditional sense of the word: an individual who will perform a lewd act (like support Bush) for money. And, honestly, has no one heard the phrase man-whore before. Men can be whores, dammit!
